.“Can I have your recording now ma'am? And the events from your perspective?”“Sure,” the doctor replied, taking the tablet and putting her left hand over the universal port.She sent a signal and data flowed through her implants to the tablet.After a moment her implants signaled the download was complete.She smiled and handed it back.“There.”The woman gingerly took the tablet back, eyes wide.“Oh! I had known you had implants but I hadn't known they worked quite like that,” she said with a slight hint of wistfulness in her tone.“Is there anything else?”“Just some questions ma'am,” the attorney said.“Did they get that lady? Mae?”Miss Winters frowned.“I shouldn't be telling you this, but for your piece of mind, yes.Yes they did.'All the way Mae' is in custody.”“Good.Wait.” she shook her head, parsing the name out.“Never mind, I don't care, I don't want to know.”“It can keep doctor.You've had a hard and trying day,” the ADA replied.Thornby smiled and waved to the two chairs on either side of the metal and glass coffee table.“Have a seat, let's make this as quick and painless as we can, I've got an early day tomorrow,” she said, taking a seat and crossing her legs and arms.Miss Winters took a seat and adjusted her skirt before she nodded.She held the tablet in front of her.“Very well, let's begin as they say at the beginning.Please tell me in your own words what happened prior to the alleged abduction.Where were you going and where were you coming from.Your state of mind.”Thornby frowned thoughtfully and then began to answer.*.*.*.*.“Are you okay doctor Thornby?” Trenton asked, coming into her office the next morning.She looked up and smiled.“It looks worse than it is,” she said, as he came over and touched her face.She didn't flinch as he explored the cuts and bruises.The bastards had roughed her up when they had been cornered.She'd gotten a rash when she'd rubbed her face on the decking trying in futility to protect herself in a fetal ball as Jethro took the three hoods down.“I'm okay, so is doctor Martel.Thanks for asking,” she replied.“Quick heal?” Trenton asked.“I hate to use it when it may be needed in trauma.Call me silly and old fashioned.I still hoard materials in case of future need.If not next year, maybe ten or twenty years from now.”“The cure does you no good in the bottle doctor,” Trenton said.She had scrapes on her wrists and neck from struggling with the plastic bindings.He made certain her pupils were okay, she showed no sign of concussion.After a moment he released her chin and nodded.Thornby reached out and patted his thigh.“Thanks,” she said.“What happened? I heard part of it in the news,” Trenton said.She sighed.She was tired of talking about it, but since his people were peripherally involved, he had a right to know.Thornby talked with Trenton about her rescue as she got up and put her coat on.She waved for him to proceed her as they made their way to the lab.“I heard rumors of a Neo savior,” Trenton said, sounding like he was questioning that.Thornby felt the door to the lab close behind her and then she made certain no one was around before she agreed.“Off the record yes.”“Why keep such things under wraps?” Trenton asked.“Wouldn't the publicity.oh, the authorities do not want to acknowledge a Neo,” he said sounding dispirited.“It's not like that! Not like that at all!”“Oh?” he asked.“Look,” she sighed, running a hand through her hair.After a moment she decided to put her hair up.She gathered her hair and put it in a pony tail, using a rubber band to keep it up.“If I tell you something, can you keep it in confidence? Doctor patient?”“Of course.”“He's not your patient, he's mine.And technically some of what he is, is classified, so I won't go into it.But.well, maybe his life will shed some light on things for you.” She leaned against a counter and told him of Jethro, how he was a great Neo.“I can't get into details about his abilities, but he is.unique.Rare, and well, very precious.” Trenton was surprised and amused.She told him of F platoon, and Valenko's squad.“They are legends in the Marines already, beyond any mere human.I am very proud to know them.Jethro was on a dark path before he became a Marine.Now; well, now he's becoming a hero.”“Interesting.”“So you see, we don't want his abilities advertised [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
